Former Argentine Officer Describes Torture Center

 

Former Argentine naval officer Adolfo Scilingo testified today in Spain about a prison/torture center he worked at during Argentina's "Dirty War." Human rights groups say 30,000 people disappeared or died during it. The official toll is 13,000.

Scilingo stated that they snatched babies from pregnant women after they gave birth and then killed "several." The babies were then adopted and given the surnames of those who took them in. He says those who died from interrogations were cremated.

Scilingo is being tried for war crimes and human rights violations. He says he previously fabricated a story that 30 drugged dissidents were pushed out of planes over the Atlantic because he wanted "the Dirty War" investigated.

Sorry, i just love bringing this up.

  love bringing it up ??  
 
what you're proud of what happened during the Falklands war ... you aware of the war crimes carried out by the gurkhas on behalf of the British during that conflict (probably not wasn't widely reported and was kept out of the British press ask someone from Argentina) ?? and as for the sinking of the Belgrano 800 sailors killed despite the fact that their ship obeyed British orders to get out of the area (the ship was moving out of the exclusion zone ???? )

Might be worth pointing out that the USA was supporting this military regime all through it's torture and killing spree.
oh and it cost the British taxpayer (you) 2 million pounds for every man woman and sheep on the island ... why did the UK want this island so much ....on top of other things

1 Thatcher needed a war to stay in power
2 The British arms industry was in a crisis at the time a war was a boost for them
3 take a look at the natural resources of the surrounding waters and ask yourself if all those british troops died for the freedom of the people on the island or for British industry ??

oh and take a look at how close the Argies came to winning the conflict (a huge percentage of the bombs they slamed into british ships failed to detonate if they had been using fresh bombs they could have killed thousands of British troops so it was by no means an easy conflict or a walk over or a Turkey shoot ) I remember talking to soldiers who were there (when I used to live in Salisbury where a lot of the troops were stationed and they weren't so gung-ho about it ) .

Of course you jump the gun and leap to assumptions.

From what I know of koultanami, from his/her previous posts, they like bringing it up to remind people that britain is just as bad as anyone else.

  Off topic but  
 
The Falklands War was the right thing to do (insofar as any war can be right). The equivalent would be if Japan marched over and seized Hawaii. Britain owns the Falkland Islands and when it was invaded they sent troops to defend the islands and the citizens on the island.

You can argue all day long about how the war should have been fought but war is a bitch and shit happens.
